Introduction

Dunstanburgh Castle is a ruined 14th century castle on the Northumberland Coast. You can find more information on the castle here. This is what it looks like in colour (photo above).
Since people seem to really like the IR shots I have been posting I thought I might share some of my shots of this beautiful, yet ruined building.
To stop this post getting too long I will link the different albums below so you can check them out yourself if you want to use the photos in your own posts (Steemit4free). There are a total of 50 photos so do have a look as you might prefer some of the others a lot more than these ones.
These will probably be the last IR photos I can do until I get my newly converted camera back (in a few weeks) - unless people want me to do some monochrome versions of selected shots from here (I didn't have time to do very many).
I did have more IR shots but I seem to have archived them away in such a safe place that even I can't find them!
The album links - see examples of different versions below
Album 1 IR monochrome
Album 2 IR with Canon WB Processing and Channel Swapping
Album 3 IR with Lightroom White Balance
Album 4 Colour Shots with Regular Camera
(I have a lot more of these normal colour shots which I haven't processed due to lack of time - if you would like me to do more just let me know).
The Photos
Example of what the different versions look like
I thought I might first show an example of how these shots look when processed using the Canon Raw converter to set light balance and also in Photoshop. One of the things I've noticed is that a lot of shots in IR tend to be underexposed and even those that aren't tend to have a lot of noise which is accentuated by channel swapping.

IR with Lightroom WB and no channel swap - I actually prefer these to the other colour versions

Thankfully these still look pretty good. Unfortunately I only preprocessed a few of these in the Canon Raw editor which I no longer have so the majority of the photos are like this. I used the clouds (in this case) and the castle stone in other shots to set the white balance.
More shots with LR WB - check out more of these in Album 3

Some Monochrome Processed Shots - apologies for the different toning on the first
- I can produce more of these if people want them I have just done a few as examples because they take the longest to produce. Just let me know which specific images you want the monochrome versions of.

Some of the shots with Canon Raw Processing and Channel Swapping - these are all quite dark and noisy

Some colour shots taken with my other camera on the same day - you can see the difference in brightness
